ABSTRACT
Women’s identity has often been made difficult; which has been reflected in arts and literature. Beyond self-representation, woman’s writing aims to build an identity: die as a living person for a rebirth as a text. Seize one’s identity not as selfness, but in its instability, and make the writing place a identity place.
